Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Special Gift
Early the next morning, Gan Peilin came to the Zen Heart Courtyard to ask Mrs. Gan for peace.
Mrs. Gan looked very haggard because of her worries. did not forget to prepare a gorgeous dress for Gan Peilin.
"Grandmother, this is ......" Gan Peilin looked at the pale blue dress, embroidered with moon-white jasmine, and decorated with excellent southern pearls. The elegance looms between the luxurious atmosphere.
"Put on this dress. This is specially prepared for you by your grandmother. Mrs. Gan smiled slightly: "The weather is hot, and such a light color looks refreshing." Zhuyu, go and take the ornaments prepared for the eldest lady, and dress up the eldest lady. ”
Gan Peilin doesn't like this kind of thing of catching ducks on the shelves. But there is no way, she is now the key to deciding the fate of Ganfu.
But when she thought of begging Jiang Yu for Gan Puyang, she panicked.
Zhuyu and Juruo neatly changed clothes and makeup for Gan Peilin, and sat in front of Mrs. Gan's makeup mirror.
Mrs. Gan looked in the mirror, Gan Peilin's wonderful complexion, and a touch of spring appeared on the corner of her lips: "For decades, time flies, and my granddaughter is so slim." ”
After that, she stroked her cheek: "It's not okay to be old." ”
"Grandmother is graceful and luxurious, how can she be old." Gan Peilin's words are not against his will. To be honest, even if Mrs. Gan has wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and her skin is not as tight as before, she can still find the outline of her youth. In the end, it is not inferior to its peers.
"You girl, you will pick up nice things to say." Mrs. Gan hooked her lips slightly: "By the way, do you know Mrs. Jiang?" ”
Finally getting to the point, Gan Peilin stared slightly: "Is it the mother of the Grand Duke?" ”
"Exactly." Mrs. Gan rolled her eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "I heard that she has always liked to collect interesting carvings, and we got one by chance in our house, so I think she will like it." Wait a minute, you send it to her for me. ”
Can you refuse? Gan Peilin thought so in his heart. But the words that came to his lips were only one word: "Yes." ”
"Alas!" Mrs. Gan looked at the groomed Gan Peilin and couldn't help sighing: "You grew up beside your mother since you were a child, and she taught you personally. Although I often come to Zen Shin Monastery to accompany my grandmother, the time between you and my grandparents is always so short. Later, you got married and became a wife. It's hard for my grandmother to want to see you. ”
said so reluctantly, in fact, it was not to tell yourself that you might be married off by Ganfu at any time and use it as a tool to invite people to buy people's hearts.
"Grandmother, granddaughter does not marry, granddaughter must stay with grandmother to do her filial piety." Gan Peilin lowered his eyes, looking very sincere.
"Silly girl." Mrs. Gan held out her hand.
Gan Peilin took broken steps, walked over lightly and handed her his hand.
"Of course, Grandmother wants you to have a good home. If you are doing well, your grandmother will naturally feel at ease. ”
"......" Jiang Yu can also be regarded as a good home? Marry and lick the blood on the tip of the knife with him? Or do you watch him kill innocents indiscriminately? Gan Peilin hung his head, and couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart. In this mansion, after all, there will not be a person who really cares about her feelings. The mother is gone, and she has taken away all the family affection of all the people in this world.
"Alright." Mrs. Gan could sense her concerns, and took out a shining Nanzhu necklace from the brocade box in Zhuyu's hand. Each one is the size of a thumbnail, which is not particularly abrupt, but it just sets off the luxury. "The coachman will send you there, and you will go back as soon as possible."
"Yes." Gan Peilin couldn't refuse, so he could only nod his head.
"Miss, please." Zhuyu sent Gan Peilin to the carriage.
Crispy Core and Liulan were about to get into the car, but she stopped them. "The two girls, please stay, the old lady explained, because the carvings are more expensive, I am afraid that someone on the road will covet them and make bad moves, so let the slave maid go with the eldest lady."
Liulan felt that there must be something greasy in this, and she didn't plan to agree.
But Gan Peilin nodded at her.
A lot of things are not something she can control now. Since she has to pass this hurdle, she must hold on.
"You are in the house and waiting for me to come back."
Liulan's brows furrowed, and she wanted to say something but endured it.
"By the way, the preserves I ate at Xinghualou last time were very good. You ask Chen Rui to go out of the house and buy some for your grandmother to send. Gan Peilin smiled gently.
"Yes." Liulan understands that the eldest young master is now too busy to take care of himself, and he can take Chen Rui back to deal with the affairs of the house.
The curtain fell, and Zhuyu gently accompanied Gan Peilin.
Liulan and Crispy Core watched the carriage move away, both a little worried.
"I'll go find Chen Rui, you stay in the mansion well, in case there is any movement, wait until I come back."
Crisp Xin nodded: "The old lady's intention is too obvious, if Mrs. Jiang really likes our eldest lady, wouldn't it be ......?"
"That's another story." Liulan thought to herself, even if the Jiang Mansion was the eldest lady, it was impossible to detain her in the Jiang Mansion immediately. There's always a chance to turn the tide.
But they didn't expect that Mrs. Gan's thoughts would stop there.
I don't know if it's because the carriage has been running for too long, or because I didn't sleep well last night. Gan Peilin was tired and sleepy.
"Miss, isn't she?" Zhuyu opened the water bladder he was carrying and handed it to her: "Moisten your throat." We're almost there. ”
"Hmm." Gan Peilin nodded, and the pearl tassels on his sideburns and the beads on his earlobes made a nice collision sound.
The water in the bladder is sweet and clear, like spring water somewhere. "What is this?"
Zhu Yu said with a smile: "This is the mountain spring water on Nanshan." ”
"Mountain springs?" Gan Peilin couldn't help but be curious: "How can there be a mountain spring in the house?" ”
"Oh, the eldest lady may not know that when the old lady went out to pray for blessings, she stumbled upon such a mountain spring, and drank this spring water all day long. The spring water is sweet and refreshing, and the old lady likes it very much, so she sends a tank into the house every once in a while. This was delivered yesterday. ”
"Oh, I see." Gan Peilin took another sip, but it had a different taste.
"This spring water is also excellent for making tea." Zhu Yu smiled and said: "If the eldest lady likes it, go back and let the slave and maid send some to your room." ”
"Okay." Gan Peilin smiled gently.
The carriage stopped at this time, and the coachman said respectfully, "Miss, we have arrived." ”
Zhuyu lifted the curtain of the car, got out of the car first, and then helped Gan Peilin get out of the car.
"Where is this?" Gan Peilin couldn't help but be surprised: "This doesn't seem to be Jiang's mansion!" ”
"This is indeed not the Jiang Mansion. It's an annex in Jiang's house. Zhu Yu smiled slightly: "The old lady is also thinking about our Ganfu, so she asked Mrs. Jiang to come here." After all, Jiang Mansion is hot now, and we are in the spotlight, so I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to stare at it, so ......"
Isn't it just that I'm afraid that someone will shout that Ganfu wants to tie up Jiang Mansion to save Gan Puyang.
Gan Peilin thought to himself, ginger is still old and spicy. "Grandmother was thoughtful. Go call the door. ”
Anyway, they are already here, how about the Jiang Mansion, and what about the other courtyards? Gan Peilin cleaned up his face and stood in front of the door waiting as everyone should look like that those ladies would like.
Zhuyu opened the door, holding the gift box and entering the courtyard with Gan Peilin.
When he arrived at the triple inner courtyard, the people from the Jiang Mansion took the gift box and said respectfully: "Miss, please." ”
Gan Peilin glanced at Zhuyu.
Zhuyu hurriedly said: "Miss, go, the slave is waiting for you here." ”
"Okay." Gan Peilin followed the minions of the Jiang Mansion through the main hall and came to the east chamber of the inner courtyard.
Pushing the door in, the servant put the gift box on a table of eight immortals carved with red sandalwood, and a maid brought a tea cup to serve. The two of them withdrew together.
Gan Peilin wanted to ask where his wife was, but before he could speak, the two slaves disappeared.
"It's weird." I thought to myself, it is indeed quite strange for the people of this Jiang Mansion to have an accident, what kind of mind is it to make people unable to eat it.
The furnishings in this room are also quite strange, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, swords, guns, swords, halberds, where it looks like a woman's boudoir, but like a ......
That's not right!
Gan Peilin's heart was shocked, how could Mrs. Jiang place a blade in the room? Even if she was to meet a guest, it was impossible to place her in such a room. Further inside, behind the screen should be a place to rest. That's not ......
She suddenly felt that there was someone behind her, and when she turned around, she saw Jiang Yu standing there!
Oh, my God! She was calculated by her grandmother!
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Yu was obviously surprised when he saw her coming. It was clearly said that it was Da Sima who came to meet him.
"I ...... I ......, "Gan Peilin is speechless, you can't say that I am the beauty trick that Gan Fu has shown you, right?" "I'm here to send the carving to Mrs. Jiang."
As she spoke, she glanced at the brocade box on the table.
Jiang Yu walked over, opened the brocade box and took a look, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Gan Peilin had seen him angry, and she had also seen his expression cold, but now this smile made her creepier than anything he had ever looked like. "I delivered the gift, so I won't delay most of the governors to be busy with political affairs. I'll go first. ”
Jiang Yu dodged and blocked her way with a brocade box.
"It's all here, do you want to leave?" Jiang Yu's tone was intriguing.
"It's just a gift, and if it's delivered, it's natural to leave." Gan Peilin calmed himself down and bowed to him: "Farewell." ”
Jiang Yu stretched out his hand to block her way, and at the same time took a step closer: "Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused?" ”
"What?" Gan Peilin took a step back.
"My mother didn't love that." Jiang Yu said indifferently: "What's more, you are the gift, don't you know?" ”
The brocade box fell to the ground, and there was really nothing inside.
Gan Peilin's heartbeat intensified, she really didn't expect her father and grandmother to come up with such a trick in order to save Gan Puyang. Jiang Yu has obviously made a marriage with Ao Fu, they would rather let her be his concubine than save Gan Puyang!
"I'm not." Gan Peilin was a little angry, but more of a chill.
Seeing her cheeks flush from pale, Jiang Yu felt a little distressed. If it was someone else, he might have accepted it. But he will never allow the person she likes to be calculated like this and used as a pawn.
"Don't come here." Gan Peilin watched him walk towards him, and his legs were weak. "I'd rather die than agree."
